Yeah, Android's power management is already pretty bad. If you're a serious user you've probably got two batteries already (I've got two for my Evo and most days I'll use both and I don't game on the thing at all). Second-gen Snapdragon devices (like the G2) are a bit more power-efficient, but some of my G2-packing…

Yes, WP7 devices actually have a number of pretty quality titles. And the titles run on XNA, so porting games from the Arcade is pretty straightforward. It's why Ilomilo actually launched on WP7 before it came to the Arcade.

Is it, though? They're not touting any actual PlayStation experiences on the thing. They're touting Tetris. They're touting The Sims 3. They're touting a bunch of shit you've never heard of. They're not even touting PSN titles, at this early date. The important difference is that with WP7 the platform is Xbox... and…

Ich. Even if I had any faith that this thing would ever see an update past Gingerbread (and in the wake of the X10 fiasco I so don't) I wouldn't choose this thing with a curiously empty speculative library over the shit-hot Xperia Arc, or the Galaxy S II. And while the 205 is decent (it's the same GPU in the G2, and…

I read this marketing pitch, and it just sounds like we're going to deliver you a fantastic device that combines the great battery life of a flagship Android device with the great battery life of a PSP.

Oh, thank God. I hadn't known ca. stayed the same. Finally a usable website.

Agreed. Having to check your profile page each time you visit Gawker to see if you've got any replies is complete balls. It's hard to admit it, considering how long I've had Kotaku at the first spot in my speed dial, but with the new changes I rarely even bother checking the site. Funny how the overall direction of a…

Oh. I wouldn't call those 'iOS accessories', though. I was genuinely confused... because the 30-pin connector predates all of the iOS devices, and exists on most every iPod ever made. By 'iOS accessory' I believed you meant something designed for all iOS devices, and couldn't really come up with any.

How about they save that for after we hear what Elop has to say?

I'm curious: what are the iOS accessories? Are you talking about iTunes? Because that's like calling an STD an accessory.

Jailbreaking is just an iPhone-specific term for gain root (superuser) access to the phone. It's the same thing. So yes, your warranty will be well and fully voided.

It's worth pointing out the Microsoft have been licensing WindowsCE to nearly every electronic device in the world for years and years and years. I wouldn't be surprised if my microwave has a CE build somewhere inside it. As far as gaming: conceived-outside-of-Redmond OG Xbox aside, Microsoft only made the big bet…

@C22DBlueKnightOne: Nyko never recalled it, specifically, but they did a redesign where they provided an external power source for the Intercooler, and allowed owners of the first model to exchange them. The first model drew power from the 360's power supply on its way in to the system— periodically ensuring the…

@Foxwolfe: That's not entirely true. You'd hit the same quadrants on the ring of light whether the PCB, solder points, and X-clamps were poor, going, or shot entirely.

@Firescorpio1: The initial design of the 360 Intercooler drew power from the system's power supply before it ran to the console itself... and when it kicked in all the fans, it could (and frequently did) brown-out the system permanently. Later revisions changed the design— in particular, I believe they added an…

That was really inspiring. And ADVA sounds like a godsend for a lot of people who've previously had to miss out on some of the community experiences they've wanted to enjoy. This kid deserves some major kudos for thinking beyond his own circumstances and into the lives of others; and San Diego Studio just got even…

@Devildoll: I disagree. It's kind of ridiculous to go any lower than 1000W these days... particularly if you're considering going Crossfire or SLI in the future (which we all generally do, eventually).

Wow. I'm unsure of this device in the extreme, but there is a whole mess of potential in this thing.

@RiotControl: True, it was lacking a real single-player campaign. Or a quality one, anyway.

To be honest, it kind of looks (and sounds like it plays) like Unreal Championship II: the Liandri Conflict... which was awesome, by the way.
